How to assemble a charcuterie board
- Mise en place. Make sure all your fruits are washed and dried. Cut your fruits if they need to be prepared and gather the rest of your ingredients.
- Prepare the box. Remove the lid from the box. If you want to preserve the box, make sure to lay a few layers of paper towels at the bottom of it.
- Roll the meats and secure them with a toothpick. Place them to the side of the box.
- Add the fruit. Arrange the fruit in a few different places in the box.
- Unwrap the candies. Place the chocolates throughout the charcuterie box. Layer them nicely so they are easy to grab.
- Fill the empty spaced with nuts. Adding nuts to the board is a great way to add contrasting color and a delicious crunch.
